Background Information Diseases develop with various elements and contributing risk factors. The elements of diseases include the susceptible host, causative agent, and the environment. A disease starts with a susceptible host which can be anyDRAFTorganism- human or animals with a weak resistance level or genetic dysfunction. The causative-agents or pathogens are disease-causing microorganisms such as bacteria, virus, fungi and protozoa. These agents are very tiny organisms that can not be seen by the naked eye. Most people call these “germs” which cause infection and communicable diseases. Environment includes the surrounding and all its elements such that anApril 10, 2014unhealthy environment contributes to the development of diseases. There are various risk factors that contribute to susceptibility such as heredity, lifestyle and environment. Heredity includes the genes from the family. Research studies show that some diseases are caused by direct chromosomal inheritance. It is also believed that certain people may actually inherit immune systems that are susceptible to a wide variety of invasive organisms. It has also been studied that with age, the body’s immune system responds less efficiently to the invading organisms thus, increasing the risk of illness. The contributing risks factors of diseases from the environment include pollutants, radioactive substances, and infectious pathogens which may contaminate the air, water, food supply and soil and make people susceptible to diseases. For instance, eating contaminated food, drinking of contaminated or dirty water will result in typhoid fever, and diarrhea. Polluted 16  

air and sudden change of weather can contribute to the development of disease such as asthma, colds, and severe coughing. On the other hand, lifestyle refers to the actions or practices of a person. It is considered as one of the greatest contributors of diseases such that the impacts of other factors will vary according to a person’s lifestyle. Healthy lifestyle includes having proper and balanced nutrition, taking adequate rest and sleep, doing regular physical activities, avoiding smoking and alcohol, managing stress, practicing safety and taking regular medical check-ups. People who choose to do harmful and unhealthful habits have the higher susceptibility to diseases. Lifestyle diseases also include obesity, asthma, chronic liver diseases, and some kinds of cancer, heart diseases, diabetes and many others.  III. Procedure A. Preliminary Activity Picture says 1.

Background Information Hygiene is a set of practices or ways of carrying out daily tasks in keeping oneself healthy. Personal hygiene involves those practices performed by an individual to care for one's bodily health and well being, through cleanliness and self grooming. Practices that are generally considered proper hygiene include bathing regularly, always washing hands and especially before handling food, washing scalp hair, wearing clean clothing, brushing one's teeth, cutting nails regularly and other grooming practices. Other personal hygienic practices include covering one's mouth when coughing, disposing soiled tissues appropriately, making sure toilets are clean. Personal grooming extends personal hygiene as it pertains to the maintenance of a good personal and public appearance. It may involve, for example, usingDRAFTdeodorants or perfume, shaving, or combing, besides other practices. Effects of being unhygienic lead to infection, food poisoning and the contamination and spread of diseases. Maintaining proper hygiene promotes optimal health, sense of well-being, social acceptance and high resistance to diseases. Moreover, good daily habits must always beApril 10, 2014practiced to stay healthy, avoid getting sick and prevent the spread of diseases. Some ways to maintain proper hygiene include the following: 1. Take a bath everyday. Use water and mild soap to wash dirt and prevent bacteria build-up and body odors especially in the groin area, hands, feet, and underarms. 2. Wash hair as often as needed. Use a clean comb and do not share it with others. 3. Brush teeth at least twice a day or every after meal. Use dental floss after meals to get rid food particles and plaque stuck between teeth and to prevent gum infection, tooth decay, bad breath and other oral problems. 4. Always wear clean underwear and clothes. Change it regularly. 5. Wash hands as often as possible. 6. Cut nails at least once a week to keep away the dirt stuck in the nails. 19

A strong and healthy body must bemaintained to keep our systems functioning well and to fight diseases. Some 21  

ways to buildup resistance include proper hygiene, proper nutrition, adequaterest and sleep, regular physical activities, regular medical and dental check-upsand immunizations. Playing outdoor games and having physical activities daily must beencouraged at home and in school. This can enhance the fitness and wellnessof the children. It is appropriate for children aged 8-9 to have at least 30-60minutes of physical activities daily to divert energy in a more meaningful way.Consistent exercise will decrease the risk of diabetes, heart disease and prolonglife. Walking, swimming, jogging, weight lifting, bike riding, and aerobics are allgood examples of exercises that improve overall health. The pyramid of physical activity suggests the appropriate frequency ofdifferent activities. DRAFTApril 10, 2014 22  

Proper nutrition is also very essential for a healthy and strong body thatcan fight diseases. The body has basic needs such as food and water inadequate amounts to maintain normal body functions. Too much or too little ofit will increase susceptibility to sickness. A person who eats a balanced diet getsall the necessary nutrients for a strong and healthy body. The food pyramid provides a guide for a balanced diet. It shows thattaking food in the right amount ensures proper nutrients for the body. On the other hand, the healthy food plate presents a simpler guide for ahealthy meal. Pinggang Pinoy is introduced to Filipinos by the Department ofHealth along and its allied agencies. It aims to provide a food guide that makesit easy for the children to see the correct proportion of nutrients that they canget from the right kinds of food in one meal. DRAFTApril 10, 2014 Drinking enough water daily is also essential for our body to replace theloss of fluid for good circulation. The body needs at least 8 glasses of watereveryday. Our body also needs rest and sleep. The body must regain strength toface another task and other physical activities. A developing child needs atleast 10-11 hours of sleep for a complete cycle of rest. Some ways to maintaingood sleeping habits of children include regular sleeping hours at night, a quiet,dark and cool room, no TV, computer or any gadget inside the room and lessconsumption of food at night.III.

Some immunization programs have led tothe eradication of deadly diseases like smalllpox and poliomyelitis. Somediseases that could be prevented through vaccines include diphtheria, hepatitisA and B, Influenza, German measles, meningococcemia, mumps, whoopingcough, poliomyelitis, rabies, chickenpox, tetanus, tuberculosis and typhoid fever. The Expanded Program of and Immunization (EPI) promoted by the WorldHealth Organization (WHO) helps prevent communicable diseases fromspreading. EPI Vaccines are available for free in government or Public HealthCare Facilities, such as barangay health and municipal or city health clinics orrural health clinics. Children are encouraged to complete their immunization soDRAFTthat they will not be prone to some common childhood diseases. Vaccines contain germs that have been killed or weakened. When givento a healthy person, the vaccine triggers the immune system to respond andthus build immunity. During vaccination, a harmless version of a germ isintroduced to the body and the immune system responds by producingantibodies to attack the intruder. OPV or Oral Polio Vaccine, pertussisApril 10, 2014(whooping cough) vaccine which killed the virus that triggers an immuneresponse and Tetanus Toxoid (TT), a vaccine that protects mothers and newbornbabies from tetanus are some examples of vaccines EPI recommends the schedule of immunizations as follows: IMMUNIZATION AGEBCG (against TB meningitis, military TB) vaccine immediately after birthHepatitis B At birth, 6 weeks, 10 weeks, 14 weeksPolio At 6, 10, 14 weeksDPT (diphtheria-pertussis-tetanus) At 6, 10, 14 weeksMeasles 9 monthsHiB (Hemophilus B infection) Same time with DTP and Polio vaccine, 12 monthsMeasles-Mumps-Rubella (MMR) 12-15 monthsChickenpox (Varicella vaccine) 12-15 months, 4-6 years oldHepatitis A 12 months 26

The environment is a big contributing factor of diseases. A clean andhealthy environment supports health. Healthy environment requires clean airand land, clean and adequate water and food, clean and spacious shelter freefrom unpleasant noise and odors, adequate recreation and neighborhoodfacilities and convenient services in an environment that provides safety,comfort, and privacy. A dirty and unhealthy environment with polluted air, land and water is notsuitable to healthy living. A polluted environment can also cause waterbornediseases from pathogenic microorganisms transmitted in contaminated water.Common food and waterborne diseases are bacterial diarrhea, hepatitis A andTyphoid fever.

Objective: At the end of the lesson, the pupil will be able to; DRAFT- identify the different factors that influence the choice of goods and services - discuss the different factors that influence choice of goods and servicesII. Subject Matter: Content: Factors that Influence the Choice of Goods and Services Materials: actual goods like school materials, biscuits, fruits, strips of cartolinaApril 10, 2014References: ‐ Consumer Rights. Retrieved December 15, 2013, from: http://www.dti.gov.ph/dti/index.php?p=720  ‐ Meeks, L. &Heit, P. Health and Wellness.(2006) New York: Macmillan/McGraw-Hill Companies, Pub. Company Background Information The factors that influence the choice of health information, products and services are the following: a. Personal (interest, preference) It deals with our needs, wants, likes, dislikes and time available. Needs refer to information, products and services that consumers need to survive. These include fresh water, clothing and food. Wants are goods or services that consumers can live without but would like to 8   

have. These include another pair of shoes, a new TV set and a comfortable bedroom. Personal preference is the like, dislike or the opportunity of choosing by the consumers. Time available of the consumers for travelling, shopping, and avail in services is also significant. a. Economic (budget) It deals with the amount of products and services that the consumers can afford. Purchasing of products and availing of services depends on the consumers’ income. b. Psychological (emotion) It deals with the feelings of the consumers, their satisfaction in buying goods and availing of the services. c. Ethical (values) DRAFTIt deals with the standard norms of behavior of the consumers. d. Environmental/Social includes one’s family, peers, media, and trends. Decision making on products that will be used by the family is typicallydone by the parents. This situation is common in many households since parentsare responsible for budgeting, managing needs and looking for resources forApril 10, 2014the family. As a result, children are influenced by their parents in choosing healthproducts. For example, in choosing what food to eat, the color of the clothes towear, medicine to take and the brand of toiletries to use, the children areinfluenced by their parents. This situation can affect personal health and thebehavioral development of a child. Therefore, parents should educate theirchildren in choosing the right products to become healthy consumers. Qualityand safety should always be considered to promote healthful living. A parent should…. - accompany the child in purchasing health products - discuss the use and effect of the health products - give the child healthy options - set a limit in spending through proper budgeting - listen to the needs of the child 9  

Peer influence could be direct and indirect. Direct peer influence can manifest through giving direct orders to maintain friendship. Giving in to a dominant friend is sometimes the result of direct peer influence. Unlike direct peer influence like bullying, indirect peer influence is somewhat pressure coming from within. We sometimes do things because we are afraid to be alone. Following what others do, the child will also do it, although no one is asking the child to do it. The same is true for a child who is asking to join an enjoyable game with friends or wanting to buy things because most friends have these. Mass media are methods used to convey advertising information to the public such as television, radio, billboard, magazines, cinema, posters, streamers, leaflets, mail, and internet. Children in this modern world can easily access media anywhere. In school, community and at home, they can be exposed to wrong advertisements, and misleading information. Advertisements in print, radio, TV and online are used as public media in promoting a product, service, or event. These use different propaganda techniques to promote the information, product and services for their commercial and personal interest. Internet is a network that connectsDRAFTcomputers around the world. It has websites set up by various groups of people with different objectives. Therefore, parents and teachers must always monitor the child’s activities. As a big influence on a child, adults should know how to handle this situation. A child should be taught the right decision-making skills in choosing health products.April 10, 2014Children can easily be convinced by what they see or hear through media, without learning about the weaknesses of a product. Before buying health products or availing of different services, a child must be guided so that misleading advertisements can be avoided. Consumer trends track more than what people buy and how much they spend. In buying goods and availing of services, consumer’s habits and behaviors are currently prevalent. Children like to buy products because of the information they hear from users and the good feedback they read about in social networks.III. Procedure A. Preliminary Activities 1. Review Game: Pass the Message 10   

Message: A consumer is a person who uses health information,products and services. Group the pupils into four. Each group will form a straight line. The teacher will call the leaders to say the message. Each leader will pass the message to the member behind. The message will be passed until it reaches the last pupil in the line. The last pupil in the line will give the message to the teacher. The group who first reports first the message correctly wins.2. Motivation Ask the following questions; 1. What are your everyday needs? 2. Would you like to buy another pair of shoes? Why? 3. Who accompanies you in choosing the things you like to buy? 4.
